Frog-legs!

It's not often that you get the opportunity to enjoy fried frog-legs in an Albanian village with friends from Scotland, S. Africa, the Caribbean and, err, Texas.  Të bëftë mirë!!

Video - EPC Summer's Day Picnic

Here's a little video I did on my iPhone.

EPC Summer's Day Picnic

I just put up pictures of our recent EPC "Summer's Day" Picnic on our Elbasan Providence site (click here).  Elbasanis celebrate Summer's Day in March.  It is a big deal here and Albanians from all around travel to Elbasan to join in the celebration.

Homemade Table

We are enjoying a homemade Ping Pong table that we put up in our courtyard.  Robbie and his friends are especially enjoying it.

Hangin' with Cru

I had a great day in Tirana visiting with (from left) Hysen, Agustin and Alfrida, who are all leaders with Cru (formerly Campus Crusade) college ministries in Tirana and Elbasan.  We are planning and preparing for our home church's Global Training School team of college students who will be joining us for 6 weeks this summer.  

This is a pic of Alfrida standing in front of the Cru headquarters in Tirana.  We met Alfrida this past year when she came through NWA and visited New Heights and our weekly global meeting and shared about her ministry in Albania.

Shelby is 21!

Hard to believe our vivacious full of life blondie is a 21 year old!  What a blessing she has been.

Day at the Park

Tanja took some pics on her iPhone a few weeks ago when we had a chance to hang out at the park. 

Orphanage

Tanja, Bethany and Jillian are heading to the orphanage this morning.  I thought I'd share a few more pics that I found on Tanja's phone.

Prayers for Elbasan

We love to spend time under the cross praying for Elbasan and all the people of Albania.
